deep in a hotbed early in Janu- 
ary or February and transplant 
to the open 6 inches apart. For 
the main supply, sow in rich, 
sandy soil, river-bottom loam or 
muck land in drills 1 foot apart, 
early in spring, and firm well. 
Thin to 3 to 4 mches apart. 
They take three to four 
months to grow to large mature 
Onions, 










A rich well-drained soil, 
free of stones, is best for 
Onions. To hasten matu- 
rity, especially if they are 
slow to form bulbs, bend 
over or break the tops. 
Onions are an aid to 
buoyant health and are 
a good source of vitamin
